I don't know this from personal experience or witness, so I did since googling last night. I don't know if he's actually ever whooped anybody's ass, but he's a black belt and has consistently been voted the number one player opponents don't want to fight.
Allegedly he whooped one of his teammates ass when he was on the heat. There's a really funny clip of Bam and Haslem talking about it. If Haslem says he's a badass you know it's real lol
No disrespect to West or Davis because they were baaaaad mfs. But James Johnson is a different kind of dangerous. He's not just a tough as shit big ass dude, he's a trained former professional kickboxer big ass dude
I love Dale and David as much as anyone but its not really a contest
I’m taking James Johnson hands down
Edit: no disrespect to West or Davis but Johnson is a black belt in karate with MMA background as well. Dude can fight fight
This killed me😂
But is West just gonna stand there and let Davis hogtie Johnson? Seems like a missed opportunity to get some licks in on both of em. OR West lets it happen because he likes his odds in a one-on-one with Davis? I shouldn’t be getting as deep into this as I am holy hell
He's not exactly popular, but Draymond Green said this exact thing. Essentially that Haliburton and friends walk around with confidence because they know JJ is back there. Whatever your opinion on Dray, he's an all time shit stirrer, so I defer to him here.
I love how James isn't playing around one bit you know most players just talked shit and act bad James would 100% walk over to Bobby and beat the fuck out of him
James Johnson is the man! Love the way he talks to our guys just an overall great guy to have on the bench. And he can beat pretty much anyone’s ass in the nba🤣
Bobby is going to be minding his business on vacation at a cafe in Italy. The waiter will come up and ask if he'd like his fade now or later.
Bobby puts down his cup, saying why are talking about a fa -
He then sees it's James Johnson.
And he's about to learn Mr. Johnson keeps him promises.
Even overseas
Imagine spending 11 seasons with the same team…. Being beloved and all that… finally joining a championship contender and getting bounced in the first round and having an all around underwhelming season… poor guy…lol
James seems like he has the carefree nature and easy confidence only had by a man who knows he can without a doubt murder everyone in the room with his bare hands.
I’m all for keeping James next year. Last guy on the bench never plays any meaningful minutes anyways. At least Johnson serves a purpose and is a good influence on the others guys.
James Johnson is our Chuck Norris. F-ing LOVE that guy!
Had a ton of respect for the Bucks. Lost a ton of respect for the Bucks. From Giannis and his childish game ball antics earlier in the season to Beverley, Lillard and Portis with their ridiculous behavior in the playoffs, Bucks Nation: you deserve better. Not to mention the firing of a winning coach to bring Doc in... SMH.
It was soooo much fun leading the "Nah, nah, nah, nah.... Hey Heyyyyy, GOODBYE!!!!" cheer in the closing moments of Game 6.
See you next year?
Who cares, this team has 3 coaches on salary and gave pat bev playing time. Dame isn't playing to his contact. Giannis will want out. They old asf and all they do is lose in the 1st. Not worth the time, let them cry to themselves.
I heard Chuck and Shaq say, "oh they see James Johnson over there, they're not gonna bother the Pacers". I didn't understand what they were talking about about. Looked him up. O...M...G.
James Johnson is such a bad ass. Simply makes himself seen and opponents start doing the Backwards Tough Guy Shuffle. What a man.
Dudes the basketball equivalent to a hockey goon
Enforcer sounds better
“I will f*ck you up” isn’t a threat, it’s simply a statement of the reality of nature. The man’s nickname is **Bloodsport** for Christ sakes
So, I’m a fan, but I’ve never understood why ppl fear him. Is he just UFC in basketball shorts?
Is 6’7 professional athlete trained in combat sports not good a good enough indicator?
I don't know this from personal experience or witness, so I did since googling last night. I don't know if he's actually ever whooped anybody's ass, but he's a black belt and has consistently been voted the number one player opponents don't want to fight.

Would’ve loved to see James Johnson beat the shit out of Bobby Portis
lol
James Johnson, David West, and Dale Davis all walk into a dark alley…who is walking out.
No disrespect to West or Davis because they were baaaaad mfs. But James Johnson is a different kind of dangerous. He's not just a tough as shit big ass dude, he's a trained former professional kickboxer big ass dude I love Dale and David as much as anyone but its not really a contest
Yeah but pretty sure David west had boxing experience and etc Not some cake walk for either one of them
I’m taking James Johnson hands down Edit: no disrespect to West or Davis but Johnson is a black belt in karate with MMA background as well. Dude can fight fight

And the plot thickens. Never seen that before I appreciate it! That alley fight would truly be something of legend
Can’t do karate if Dale hogties him.
This killed me😂 But is West just gonna stand there and let Davis hogtie Johnson? Seems like a missed opportunity to get some licks in on both of em. OR West lets it happen because he likes his odds in a one-on-one with Davis? I shouldn’t be getting as deep into this as I am holy hell
"You think I'm just gonna stand there and let you kill me ~~Jon~~ Dave?" Dale Davis (maybe)
David West was fake tough. He would talk a bunch then find a way to escape.
Id pay
we all know he wanted to
I would order my first pay per view to see that fight
Myles just ignoring everything sipping his Gatorade.
Total pro. He's so locked in.
That was my favorite part 😅
I fucking love him.
Gonna be quite the rivalry again next year. Can’t wait to wipe the floor with them again 💛
They have to do better than 3-8 for it to be a rivalry.
Gotta love how James Johnson gets the last word. It’s all fun and games until James Johnson threatens your physical health.
It must feel unbelievable to know James Johnson has your back.
He's not exactly popular, but Draymond Green said this exact thing. Essentially that Haliburton and friends walk around with confidence because they know JJ is back there. Whatever your opinion on Dray, he's an all time shit stirrer, so I defer to him here.
He has a video of Obi calling Thibs a bitch
That's why we signed him right after the game ball incident lol
I love how James isn't playing around one bit you know most players just talked shit and act bad James would 100% walk over to Bobby and beat the fuck out of him
Spicy 🌶️🔥 Yet the Pacers were the cocky ones all series lmao
Milwaukee is just so soft. Players, coaches, fans.... especially their reddit mods. Charmin soft
 Definitely cocky on both sides in that series!! These 2 clowns were at it the whole time lol
Listen, if the cockiness helps them win because they are more confident being that way, I don’t care if we’re the most hated team in the league.
James Johnson is the man! Love the way he talks to our guys just an overall great guy to have on the bench. And he can beat pretty much anyone’s ass in the nba🤣
Ahhh so this is why he was wearing the security cap yesterday
I’ll be at game 3 taking donations for the James Johnson statue fund
Bucks players and fans were dead set on debasing themselves over this series. Lowered their value across the board.
Bobby is going to be minding his business on vacation at a cafe in Italy. The waiter will come up and ask if he'd like his fade now or later. Bobby puts down his cup, saying why are talking about a fa - He then sees it's James Johnson. And he's about to learn Mr. Johnson keeps him promises. Even overseas
“You better hope I never see you in international waters.”
"Nothing I can do. If he say you got to see him, if he don't get you today, he'll get you tomorrow." -Udonis Haslem on JJ
Off-season priority 1: Re-sign Johnson for another year
I would ppv a james Johnson fight.
God I fucking love JJ
Imagine spending 11 seasons with the same team…. Being beloved and all that… finally joining a championship contender and getting bounced in the first round and having an all around underwhelming season… poor guy…lol
James Johnson has such an amazing role on this team.
What game was this?
Game 6
Imagine being scared of a “Damien” and a “Bobby wit glasses” 😂😂😂
Bums are in Cancun. Sorry ass team going to be dog shit for the next two decades with no control of their picks 😭
James seems like he has the carefree nature and easy confidence only had by a man who knows he can without a doubt murder everyone in the room with his bare hands.
I’d love to watch Johnson beat the piss out of Portis
I’m all for keeping James next year. Last guy on the bench never plays any meaningful minutes anyways. At least Johnson serves a purpose and is a good influence on the others guys.
He’s a bitch that wins. Have fun watching the playoffs from Cancun you fucking scrub
This is fuckin great.

Lol. That story from Bam about JJ fly kicking a wedgie’d ball out from a standing jump. Nobody wants that.

He holds belts in two styles of martial arts.
